It’s been a minuteee since I’ve done a solo episode, and whew — this one is juicy. I’m recapping my time away for my wedding and European honeymoon, how things have been since coming back, and allll the mindset, business, and content lessons that came through along the way.
From wedding chaos and travel mishaps to mindset breakthroughs and content clarity — this one’s part storytime, part therapy session, part business pep talk you didn’t know you needed.
I chat about:
The week before the wedding — beach time, our families meeting, and the calm before the chaos
Rehearsal day food poisoning (yep, really) and a rainy wedding day that didn’t go as planned
The sweet, special moments that made it all worth it ❤️
A huge shoutout to Virtue Events for saving the damn day and making everything better than it could’ve been
Lessons in letting go, asking for help, and allowing people to support you — even when it’s not “your way”
Choosing to remember the good over the bad and working on your mindset to release expectations
Life as both/and — the messy and the magical existing together
The biggest lesson: you can’t control everything, only how you respond
Feeling your feelings without getting stuck in them
My favorite practice for gratitude and energy shifts when life gets wild
Our European honeymoon adventures — the places we loved, what went wrong, and what we learned
Dealing with a canceled flight mid-honeymoon and being OOO (and sick when coming back) for almost 4 weeks
Why you don’t need to do the most before or after taking time off — you get to choose ease
How I’m restructuring my business and content approach for the holiday season
Removing pressure from the EOY “rush” and giving yourself permission to slow down instead
Why you don’t need to do a Black Friday sale or be busy just because everyone else is
Turning 33, and my reflections on building my biz and showing up with more intention this year
What I learned about content while I was gone — and how to apply those lessons to your own marketing
How to approach your content for the holidays and EOY — quality over quantity, being real, and connecting with your deeper why
